Don’t get STUCK on the HUMP!

All too often in regards to Health and Fitness, people “Major in the Minor things.” No one finds it tough to understand 8 hours of sleep, a few days a week of exercise and a good diet is WHAT to do. The tough part is DOING what you know. Before you worry about the next great “silver bullet” or “quick-fix”- as I like to refer to them… make sure you are getting the basics right first. Remember, that ignoring any ONE of the basics can throw everything out of balance. It doesn’t have to be complicated to be effective! Hope this puts things back into PERSPECTIVE so you can get OVER the hump this week!

“The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” –Vince Lombardi

The same is true of your commitment to Health & Fitness…you get out of it exactly what you put into it! Want more…you’ve gotta DO MORE!

HAPPY HUMP DAY!

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” ~Mark Twain

Great words to remember when you’re having trouble leaving the comfort zone! What’s holding you back from achieving your BEST at anything?  Remember the “W.O.W.” = PERSPECTIVE…and be willing to throw off the bowlines. ANYTHING is possible!

The Dailey ORGANIC SHOPPING Tip: Eating organic isn’t ALWAYS more expensive! This topic has come up a lot lately…and worth opening up for discussion! Food Babe gives some great tips in this article. http://foodbabe.com/2013/05/20/how-to-eat-organic-on-a-budget/?sb I have also become quite aware of WHERE certain products can be purchased at the BEST prices. Believe it or not, locally at Earthfare I save A LOT of money buying organic with their daily email & text coupons. They also have the ”tomato bank” where you earn points for shopping-which are cashed in for REAL $$$ when you earn enough! Either way, pay more NOW for healthy & clean foods that preserve your health, or pay later with poor health, Dr. & hospital bills! Whichever makes more sense to YOU!

“Patience, persistence, and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.”

~ Napoleon Hill

Your PERSPECTIVE on these 3 P’s can make you UNSTOPPABLE! Get your mind RIGHT this week & do something every day to fuel your fire to succeed! A little effort every day goes a long way!

The Dailey GEAR Tip: Check out this event!!! https://www.facebook.com/events/1462779940631807/ THIS Thursday-Saturday! Team Connection is a local biz that prints team jerseys, logos, and all sorts of marketing gear. Each quarter they have a “warehouse sale” to get rid of extra inventory…which is a huge score for anyone looking for new workout gear. They always have a ton of tennis apparel, & carry some big name brands such as Under Armor, Nike, Adidas, Puma, just to name a few…up to 75% off retail value. I have scored BIG at these sales in the past! It’s worth it if you have the time to go!

SUGAR CHECK! Want to move your needle in the right direction this week? Cut out any and ALL refined sugar from your diet. No high fructose corn syrup, or other man-made sweeteners. Read your labels & your best bet is to eat foods that don’t have an ingredient list!

“If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got! You will never get out from under your problems if you never take on things that are over your head.” ~Martin Rooney

The “W.O.W.” = PERSPECTIVE! This word is KEY to whether you have success or failure in life. What you perceive to be true…is your truth. Your PERSPECTIVE is your belief.  Want to change your outcome this week??? Change your PERSPECTIVE. ATTACK your goals from a different angle, with a new mindset. There are no limits to what you can achieve!

Have a great weekend!

Thoughtful Thursday…

As a man was walking and passed some elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages.  It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not.

He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” the trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them.  As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”

The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn’t, they were stuck right where they were.
How many times have you avoided doing something because you’ve failed at it before? Because you fail at something or have a certain outcome at one point doesn’t mean you will consistently have that same outcome.

It comes down to your mindset.
Improve a little bit each day and never settle for the same outcome.
Your mindset is a constant, outcomes are not.

GET YOUR MIND RIGHT! It dictates your destiny!

The “W.O.W. = ACTION! You want to get STRONGER? It starts with how you THINK! Think strong…and take ACTION!

“Instead of thinking a problem is too tough, think about how to solve it.
Instead of thinking you are not good enough, think about how to be better.
Instead of thinking your situation is bad, think about how to improve it.
Instead of thinking you don’t know enough, think about how to find out.
Instead of thinking you are out of shape, think about how to fix it.

In the end, your success (or lack thereof) will be a product of how you think.”

~Martin Rooney

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” –Dale Carnegie
